Jonathan Goldman has a problem.  He’s just been ousted from the company he created.  A one hit wonder singer/songwriter and now successful record producer, his life is suddenly thrown into complete and utter turmoil.  His former business partners have only one goal - to ruin his life and do him as much harm as possible.  At sixty, no other label will hire him.  Alone, with only his handful of friends to rally around him, Jonathan Goldman is on a downward spiral from which he may never recover.  And then... people begin to die. 

 

Written in vivid detail and a unique style, Rewind is a taut, suspenseful, chilling, and often funny look at how a decent person can be dragged through the mud by people who enjoy that particular pastime.  It’s also a colorful peek inside the music business, and the day-to-day process of how albums are actually produced.  

"Bruce Kimmel''s Rewind is a fascinating work of fiction, an alternately dark, witty and chilling account of the trouble an honorable man can get into in the music business, enhanced by intriguing ''insider'' details that spring from the author''s apparently hard-earned experience as a record producer. Good nasty, devious fun."

“Watch out, cruel world. Bruce is on the loose, and this time he''s out for blood. That Marcel Proust of the 1950s, our Jean Shepard of the Twenty-First Century, now looks back in hilarious anger to just yesterday, when all our troubles seemed not far away. With the subterfuge of a Kasparov and the pungency of a Kerouac, show biz sleuth Kimmel takes us down a mysterious road, one he knows so well that he painted the double line down the middle. Once again, Bruce Kimmel proves to be a master of fiendish mystery as well as fondest memory. Be entertained. Be very entertained.”
